    Helping Skype/Microsoft collect data and encouraging proprietary
    software seems like a very strange activity for the Open Knowledge
    Foundation. I cannot help but be extremely disappointed.

Data collected by Microsoft, and perhaps handed over to Big Brother,
is not open data.  It is not what OKFn should promote.

Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software.
